valentines week

valentines day is back and 'love' is in the air...

perhaps its true that the day did have its origins. some googling and it was found to have began as a feast day of the catholic church in honouring st valentine, a martyr in 496 ad. cool stuff.

religious affair aside, im not exactly a supporter of valentine's day. at least for a handful of florists i've come across, the price of flowers have blasted up by three times, and it hasn't been much different for restaurants. not as if my appetite would have suddenly expanded. sheesh. is the implication really necessary? seems like a day recreated by scheming businessmen for greater business gains more like it.

but seriously girls... c'mon, if its only on valentines day that your guys are being extra nice to dress up, take you out and shower you with those extra lovely dovey gifts, i'd say ditch them.

haha. no offence, i just think you deserve better. i mean, why can't everyday be valentine's day? why not have days that are of your own instead of following the crowd? hah ok, i admit i may be the jerk most of the time who's not anywhere near close to being the perfect guy, but at least i dont wait to do what i gotta do.

yes i know what you're thinking. poor chanel. must have had an unpleasant valentine's with the scrooge. haha. well we didn't celebrate or get anything... instead we spent the weekends joining the crowds over at the natas fair and got ourselves a tour to aust in may. hooray! work is blowing my brains out. a good break to look forward to at last. :D
